Wheeling is a city in Ohio County in the U. S. state of West Virginia. Located almost entirely in Ohio County, of which it is the county seat, Wheeling was originally a settlement in the British colony of Virginia and later an important city in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Wheeling is the city of the Wheeling, WV-OH Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 census, the MSA had a population of 147,950, the origins of the name Wheeling are disputed. One of the more credible explanations is that the word comes from the Lenni-Lenape phrase wih link and this supposedly referred to a white settler who was scalped and decapitated. His severed head was displayed at the confluence of Wheeling Creek, the area had been inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years. In the 17th century, the Iroquois from present-day New York state conquered the upper Ohio Valley, pushing out other tribes and maintaining the area as their hunting ground. Originally explored by the French, Wheeling still has a lead plate remnant buried by the explorer Céloron de Blainville in 1749 at the mouth of Wheeling Creek to mark their claim, later, Christopher Gist and George Washington surveyed the land, in 1751 and 1770, respectively. During the fall of 1769, Ebenezer Zane explored the Wheeling area, other families joined the settlement, including the Shepherds, the Wetzels, and the McCollochs. In 1787, the United States gave Virginia this portion of lands west of the Appalachians, by the Northwest Ordinance that year, it established the Northwest Territory to cover other lands north of the Ohio River and west to the Mississippi River. Settlers began to move into new areas along the Ohio, in 1793, Ebenezer Zane divided the town into lots, and Wheeling was officially established as a town in 1795 by legislative enactment. The town was incorporated January 16,1805, on March 11,1836, the town of Wheeling was incorporated into the city of Wheeling. By an act of the Virginia General Assembly on December 27,1797, originally dubbed Fort Fincastle in 1774, the fort was later renamed Fort Henry in honor of Virginias American governor, Patrick Henry. In 1777, Native Americans of the Shawnee, Wyandot and Mingo tribes joined to attack settlements along the upper Ohio River. They hoped an alliance with the British would drive the settlers out of their territory. Local men, later joined by recruits from Fort Shepherd and Fort Holliday, the native force burned the surrounding cabins and destroyed livestock. During the first attack of the year, Major Samuel McColloch led a force of men from Fort Vanmetre along Short Creek to assist the besieged Fort Henry

EST, clocks are advanced to 3,00 a. m. EDT leaving a one-hour gap, on the first Sunday in November, at 2,00 a. m. EDT, clocks are moved back to 1,00 a. m, southern parts of the zone do not observe daylight saving time. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 ruled that daylight saving time would run from the last Sunday of April until the last Sunday in October in the United States, the act was amended to make the first Sunday in April the beginning of daylight saving time as of 1987. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended daylight saving time in the United States beginning in 2007. So local times change at 2,00 a. m. EST to 3,00 a. m. EDT on the second Sunday in March, in Canada, the time changes as it does in the United States.

The Upper Peninsula continued to observe Central Time until 1972, when all, Tennessee, Most of the eastern third of Tennessee is legally on Eastern Time. Eastern Time is also used somewhat as a de facto official time for all of the United States, since it includes the capital and the largest city. Major professional sports leagues also post all game times in Eastern time, for example, a game time between two teams from Pacific Time Zone will still be posted in Eastern time. Most cable television and national broadcast networks advertise airing times in Eastern time, national broadcast networks generally have two primary feeds, an eastern feed for Eastern and Central time zones, and a tape-delayed western feed for the Pacific Time Zone. The prime time is set on Eastern and Pacific at 8,00 p. m. with the Central time zone stations receiving the eastern feed at 7,00 p. m. local time. Mountain Time Zone stations receive a separate feed at 7,00 p. m. local time, as Arizona does not observe daylight saving time, during the summer months, it has its own feed at 7,00 p. m. local time

It was first recorded by John Denver and included on his 1971 breakout album, Poems, Prayers & Promises. The song was a success on its release and was certified Gold by the RIAA on August 18,1971. The song became one of John Denvers most popular and beloved songs and it has continued to sell, with over a million digital copies sold in the United States. It is considered to be Denvers signature song, the song also has a prominent status as an iconic symbol of West Virginia, which it describes as almost Heaven, for example, it was played at the funeral memorial for U. S. Senator Robert Byrd in July 2010, in March 2014, it became the official state anthem of West Virginia. Danoff and his then-wife, Mary Nivert, wrote I Guess Hed Rather Be in Colorado and Take Me Home, Country Roads, Danoff has stated he had never been to West Virginia before co-writing the song. Inspiration for the song had come while driving to a reunion of Niverts relatives in nearby Maryland. To pass the time en route, Danoff had made up a ballad about the winding roads they were taking. Later, he changed the story to fit that of an artist friend and he had even briefly considered using Massachusetts rather than West Virginia, as both four-syllable state names would have fitted the songs meter. Starting December 22,1970, John Denver was heading the bill at The Cellar Door, Danoff and Nivert opened for him as a duo named Fat City. After the Tuesday post-Christmas re-opening night, the three headed back to their place for an impromptu jam, on the way, Denvers left thumb was broken in an automobile accident. He was taken to the hospital, where a splint was applied, by the time they got back to the house, he was, in his own words, wired, you know. Danoff and Nivert then told him about the song that they had working on for about a month. They sang the song for Denver and as he recalled, I flipped, the three stayed up until 6,00 a. m. changing words and moving lines around. When they finished, John announced that the song had to go on his next album, the song was premiered December 30,1970, during an encore of Denvers set, with the singers reading the words from a folded piece of paper. This resulted in an ovation, one of the longest in Cellar Door history. They recorded it in New York City in January 1971, Take Me Home, Country Roads appeared on the LP Poems, Prayers & Promises and was released as a 45 in the spring of 1971. Original pressings credited the single to John Denver with Fat City and it broke nationally in mid-April, but moved up the charts very slowly
